The Class Circulating Letter.

An ingenious scheme was devised by class of young ladies who were graduated from . prominent New York seminary a few years ago. One of them, now residing in this city, thus explains it: ~There were nine of us in the class, and We were all promising to write to each other continually, but in our hearts We knew that such a correspondence could never be kept up. Finally one of the girls suggested 0 circulating letter. and the idea pleased us all. At the expiration of one month from the time we parted the first girl wrote O letter telling what she had been doing and every- thing about herself which would be likely to interest the others. This letter was sert to the second girl, who, after reading it, wrote her own letter and sent the two to the third. The third, fourth, fifth, and all the others in turn added their letters until the ninth on the list sent it back to the first. Then the circuit was complete and we had the circulating let ter fairly under way. Now, of course. the envelope always contains nine letters, and each glrl, when it comes to her, takes out her own letter. writes a new one telling what she has been doing in the meantime. and starts 1t on it's travels again. You can have n5 idea how interesting it is to receive the letter and how anxiously we all await it's arrival when our turn comes. We have kept it up for nearly four years, and each time the letter comes round the pleasure of reading what all the girls have to say seems to in- crease. One of the girls is in Washington. another in Chicago, another in Southern Cali fornia, another in Paris, and one, when last heard of her, was in Egypt Some of them are married san Francisco Alta

TIE St. Johns Herald, when discuss Ing the financial condition of Apache couaty, says much that applies with equal force 10 the whole territory. "The name" it says.

Certainly, it is satisfaction to know he sts1ds SO well in the estimation of people among whom he came @ stranger but eighteen months ago. But whatever hss been done in his behalf has been well earned The suppression and capture of Geroni- mo was 8 task before which other men qGFiled, but he scceptedrit with;soldierly obedience snd did his duty like 6 man, and the people to whose relief he came honor him for,doing it. Had he failed as others had done before him, he would still have hsd the sympathy and conf dence of the people who are quick to see and recognize what is and what is not being done in their behalf. They saw that General Miles was leaving nothing undone that would give the much need ed relief, and when the erd came with its victory they were not slow in hon or ing him for bis good achievement.
